How reliant am I on Google?
My relationship with Google is a long one. I was one of the first people to use the adsense program, one of the first to use Gmail and definitely one of the first to pay them for a service. Along the way I’ve come to appreciate how awesome they are and also loathe how they operate.
Google isn’t known for their customer service nor do they really do a good job explaining their actions. This leads to a ton of issues such as locked out accounts, missing data, etc. Still, they are my go to provider online.

I am a big proponent of cloud functionality. The ability to keep your documents and files in the cloud and access them from everywhere is extremely appealing. One of the concerns is ongoing security, though.
On a daily basis I use the cloud to:
- Store my latest book
- Backup all my files
- Keep all my photos
Each one of these is protected by its own process, but I really rely on Google’s Two Step Authentication for most of them.
